Define easy to sell... If you're willing to dump it on ebay, sure, somebody will buy it.
Checked US Ebay in sold items
Only one used was sold recently for $70 (rx 460 4Gb). Cheapest new on newegg ~$115. Direct loses - 40%
New rx 480 8Gb ~$245, can be sold on Ebay for $215. Losses $13
Summary - RX 460 total sucks [/quote]
Deleted your post. As it misses point of the rx460 completely.
The build was not for roi it was for fun. Just to see how small and neat a build can be.
Frankly I can make the build roi with a simple variation add 2 rx 470 with backplates
can be had for 150 vs the 110 I paid
hashrate jumps from 300 to 480 and you add 1 pcie wire that has 2 jacks.
It is then a 3 wire build.
The card has a value if you find one on sale at 110 and you are using biostar rigs.
Any 4 card build on a biostar may have a tight clearance issue. so rx 460's fix that.
layout is :
rx 470 rx460 rx 470 rx 460
160 + 75 +160 +75 = 470h at low power say 325 watts is a good build.
Lastly lets use your ebay used card buying example: a used 4gb rx 460's for 70 bucks would make the deal pretty good since the build would be:
280 usd for 300h worth of hash Just gpus.
while buying 600 to 680h or 720h in the form of 4 rx 480's cost 4 x 213 used = 852 usd for 720h
so saying the rx 460 sucks is pretty much off base even using your ebay example.
Please remember my fans at set to 35% and the rig is far more quiet then any rx 470 build even one with msi rx 470's
